Imaged at Mt Augustus Outback Tourist Park. I'd wanted to do a longer sequence of Gum 75 upper right in context with M8, which to me looks like a 'left foot', but was foiled by delays getting started and an easterly wind change that caused enough mount and atmospheric instability that I discarded the, leaving only a small under to process. I will certainly find another time to try this again.
